     Hmm, I go to python.org and right in my face: Universal Mac OSX
binary for Python 2.4.3.
     Thanks for all the hard work on making this new build guys. 
Especially for getting rid of the need for pythonw.
     If you google "mac python" you might get those older pages, but
those should be left there for several reasons.

My 2 cents,
